My Oliva rep just confirmed a 15 box shipment headed my way when they are released. He said it smoked VERY full bodied, maybe in the range of the Oliva El Cobre. I'm anxious to see what the price point will be. Ian?? Any ideas on pricing?

Gispert Ashton Cuesta Rey Helix Leon Jimenes Oliva Gold Ask your local B&M the same question and they should be able to point you in the right direction of sticks THEY stock that meet your criteria. Good Luck and welcome!

Excellent post and excellent resource. I wish every member on this forum would read this and we can finally put the "prices are too high at my B&M what am I gonna do..." threads to bed already. Why does a hammer cost $4.00 more at your local mom & pop hardware store than it does at WalMart? If...

I have had 3 or 4 and have enjoyed all of them. No draw problems or harshness at all. The lancero is my fav in this line. I didn't see anyone mentioning the lancero. Try it... it's a great smoke.

I have smoke a few as well, and have enjoyed each one. Nice sticks.

As long as there are ---holes who continue to steal instead of paying like everyone else, you will continue to be closely watched until the shop owner knows your face. Maybe the threat of my Palio on their pinky finger will help reduce the 5 finger discount. If I was real good with Photoshop...

Not only does he make a great smoke (actually I think they are made in the La Aurora factory by Aurora FOR him), but he is a hell of a nice guy. The lancero is great, and the robusto and toro are also very very good. His son is fighting cancer, so say a prayer for his family, too.

What's scary is.... I get it! Bill Clinton once smoked a cigar that tasted like Monica Lewinski... eeeewwwww!

Why put off till tomorrow what you can smoke today? I just can't wait... Blessed are those that can!

Send me the cigars so I can see how they stack up to the photo's. I may or may not send them back. Great shots, BTW, I've been looking at the Rebel for myself and my shop/website as well.

corona, corona gorda (Punch Punch size), and lancero

Yes... they're too moist. When heat and moisture come together, the result is expansion, and that's why the wrappers burst. Allowing these cigars to sit out for a few hours might help considerably. They probably came that way from the factory (probably not the shipper or B&M's doing), and they...
